I love Google Chrome. There is something in that browser that I think is special. However, I don’t like Google Chrome’s Most visited page because I don’t want people to know which page that I’ve browsed previously (hehe!). Therefore; I will show you how to remove Google Chrome’s most visited page from appearing on browser’s startup and when you open a new tab in Google Chrome.

Go to Google Chrome’s settings page.

Add a new website that will open on Google Chrome’s startup to replace the “dreaded” Most visited page. I prefer a blank screen; thus about:blank is typed as shown.
